Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm one of those "old-codgers" that cringes each time I think I'm buying something "Made In China" because I associate that with inferior, cheap and non-durable, not to mention people here in the USA have lost a boatload of manufacturing jobs... (OK, I'm off my high-horse.)
The bulbs "don't" look like the typical stuff one might expect from China. The filaments are thick, they look to be attached to the electrodes very well and the screw-in base is made of brass that looks hefty enough to handle twice the electric current needed to go through the lamps.
I bought two of these bulbs. One to keep in a dog kennel because we had a cold snap and my dogs needed a boost of warmth and one for me and my bursitis, arthritis and tendonitis. (I should have said I'm a worn-out old codger...)
The lamps arrived in a large box, packed as if they were going to the moon. No way short of a train-wreck could the bulbs have broken.
They worked well, heating my shoulder and not overwhelming the room with ambient light as I watch TV. The heat penetrates well and is much more convenient than sitting here with a heating pad on my shoulder.
As far as the kennel, they have worked well in 11 degree temperature and probably have been bumped around while the filaments were illuminated and hot. They are perfect for my kennel because they don't overwhelm the dogs with a bright-light at night to interfere with their sleep. These bulbs do but out a visible light, but it is subdued and not overwhelming like a white light, and I suspect these bulbs have a better penetrating heat than a white lamp of the same wattage.
Not much more to say except I'm happy with the purchase, the vendor shipped them fast and they arrived without being damaged.
(THIS TIDBIT.... one year later, I'm still using the same bulbs!)
